I don't recall where I heard it, but I remember seeing something about that specific for the sc10 4x4 so you don't use the +3mm offset wheels anymore.
Cain, before I switched to +3mm wheels, I used slash grey hexes drilled out to 6mm. Works well but I would suggest using serrated wheel nuts or find some low profile ones as the threads only just get into the nylon insert.

The Team Durango 4mm serrated locknuts should work. They are low profile but doesn't have the nylon inserts. Comes in a package of 10 for $3.

P/N is TD708005

Hey there Shark. Nice vid, great track and ride. Looks very smooth out there! What are you running for shock fluid, springs and pistons if you don't mind me asking?

WC: That's fine, silence speaks volumes of truth even when its not intended ...

Shark: What did you end up on your pin settings for the center diff? If you could post your full setup, that would be great as I know there are those who would love to have it.

Here is my current setup:

Shocks
Frt 40wt AE oil, MIP piston with one blue valve (reversed). 4mm int/ext limiters.
Rr 35wt AE oil, MIP piston with one blue valve (reversed). 4mm int/ext limiters.
Mounting position = stock

Diff
Fnt = 7K, Rr = 5K, cDiff = 5 pins

Sway bars = 2.0mm front, 2.2mm rear

Camber links
Front = stock
Rear = inner 5mm spacers, outer 4mm spacers

Rear toe 3.5 degrees toe in (M2C rear block).

21grams of lead weight located on each side of the servo (42g total).

Rx8 current limiter = 0, Pro4 4000kv motor 62/14 gearing

Shorty lipo located forward (sideways)
AE XP1313 servo mounted flat on the chassis.

I run on a small tight indoor track, which they used to water a lot and it had super grip (we ran slicks) but lately they run it drier and I now run AKA Handlebars front and rear (super soft). I was running 1mm internal limiters in the shocks but the local fast guy said to try more limiters to lower the ride height for better handling (less traction rolling) on the smooth high bite track, Now that they run it drier I am going to reduce the number of internal limiters, to 1 or 2mm. I tried 7pins but I found the truck wanted to swap ends so I settled on 5 pins which hooks up good and keeps the truck nice and stable under acceleration.


Here is some 4x4 action at my local track, Pro Chad Bradley took the win.

Its interesting though that you finally did test the product and I am surprised you haven't reported on it before. I am assuming your purchase was recent so you probably got the new hardened pins. Was there any unusual wear on those parts?

For those looking for more information how the Center Diff works when properly setup, here is something that Marcus posted a bit ago that may be useful:

and some info on pin adding:

http://www.rctech.net/forum/12331035-post34467.html



Hope thing helps those interested in using a Center Diff in loose and carpet conditions.

Me personally I liked 8 pins on carpet.
My first run with the Cdiff seemed to match yours George, then i realized that I put the gear on backwards... pins on the wrong side. Turning the gear around made all the difference in the world.
I might dust off my truck and run it again this winter.

great race, you can see CB bump and wait during the race, which is great track/race etiquette not seen very much at a lot of tracks anymore. The car that was leading at first had to be thinking "Chad Bradley is reeling me in!!!" A lot of pressure .
Shark were you in this race? BTW, Chad Bradley is a great guy. I met him at a Nitro Challenge race a few years back. He was with Jay Halsey and Gary Guest. Very nice guys and were helpful to a newb like me, at the time...

Also, I see you are hard at it again with the SC104x4. Nice setup you have on the "Shark Ultralite". nice work Bro. You should be sponsored dude! Do me a favor? Come visit RCTEN.com, (the ADMIN's is a great guy) it's a nice forum and your know-how would help a lot of racers on that forum. Lemme know, thanks.
